I started collecting the G.I.Joe Classified line right before they announced the retro-carded figures that were, at the time, going to be Walmart exclusives. I had already picked up the regular Destro figure but I hadn’t opened the package yet. I’m not sure why, but I’m glad because I liked the look of the retro version better. I sold the other. Lucky I didn’t plan on keeping the retro card figures in their packaging, because Walmart went after these items with an angry grudge.

Depending on the day of the week, Baroness might be my favorite Cobra. This figure looks great, but her sculpting limits some of her articulation and pose-ability. The Crimson redeco looks great, but I have no interest in that set. I hope they release a classic blue Baroness eventually.
